Q&A#22 Why Does Figural Preaching Matter?

Today's question: "I would like to ask a two-part question: (a) could you give a defense from the Scripture for figural preaching and typological reading; (b) how would you respond to the criticism of typological exegesis as a way seeking hidden meanings and connection that probably no one else has noticed, thus focused a lot on novelty?"

Within the video, I reference this recent talk I gave on the subject of the transfigural reading of Scripture: https://englishlabri.podbean.com/e/seeing-the-transfigured-word-alastair-roberts/.
